The Pittsburgh Pirates will recognize the Point Park Pioneers for the team's successful 53-11 season, including a NAIA World Series appearance, during an on-field ceremony prior to the Pirates-Tigers game on Sunday, June 24 at 1:35 p.m.

The Pirates are having a strong season of their own this year, currently playing over .500 and contending for a lead of the National League Central division. For Point Park baseball fans, June 24 is a great chance to be a part of a special event for the Pioneers.

The Pioneers will be congratulated for their NAIA World Series appearance (5th place) and school record-breaking, 53-11 season at approximately 12:15 p.m. on June 24. In another Pioneers connection, Point Park alum Don Kelly will be on hand as a current member of the Detroit Tigers.

PNC Park, the home of the Pirates, is located just a 10-minute walk from Point Park's Downtown Pittsburgh campus. The Pioneers were invited for the recognition by Pirates president Frank Coonelly.
